Ever wondered if your embarrassing midlife moments are actually universal?  
 
Lisa and Suzette from "Midlifers" join Karen Stones to laugh about the realities of aging gracefully (or not). Self-described as the "tweens of adulthood," this hilarious duo shares "the good, the saggy, the hard, the funny, and everything else about life in the middle." From brain fog moments like calling an ankle a "foot wrist," to discovering the iPhone magnifier, they bring authentic humor to middle age struggles. These Instagram sensations started their platform when they noticed plenty of content on fashion and fitness, but not enough truth and fun. 

For instance, are you embracing the "great hair migration" yet? Karen, Lisa, and Suzette tackle everything from colonoscopies to Botox, skinny jeans, and the infamous "freeze, squeeze and sneeze" of middle age. Lisa and Suzette's philosophy? "Shame loves the dark." They advocate unapologetically for living your best midlife with confidence—whether that means going gray, getting Botox, or taking up drums at 53. After all, isn't this the best part about being middle-aged? We finally care less about what others think and more about what brings us joy. As Lisa says, "The sexiest part of all this is confidence."
